Veritech fighter
From Free net encyclopedia
A fictional transforming walking machine in Robotech. In the late 90s, an official backronym was invented by Harmony Gold for the term "Veritech:" Variable Engineering and Robotic Integration TECHnology. The name is derived from variable fighter, the term for transforming fighters used in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (the series from which the first part of Robotech was adapted).
The nomenclature for Veritech Fighters mostly follows that established in the 20th century by the US Army Air Force and its successor service, the US Air Force. "V" is added to the beginning of the fighter's designation to stand for "Variable" or "Veritech." Unlike in Macross, manufacturers are generally not mentioned, though the VF-1's manufacturers can be assumed to be Rockwell International and Bell Helicopter Textron, the real-world counterparts to Stonewell and Bellcom, the manufacturers of the VF-1 Valkyrie in Macross.
